Question about Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche's views on ignorance

Yes, I too love that book.

Has anybody had contact with the very reputable translators and gotten a salving explanation or an otherwise explanatory insight into the repetitive use of "void/voidness" in the text?

My understanding is that most translators for many years now hove ditched those words due to the nihilistic sense it gives off that most people would probably agree couldn't have been DKR's intention. Perhaps it's just me that finds it a really jarring issue with the text, which (sometimes) causes me to doubt the quality of the whole translation if such a major ball was dropped in translating it.
